Sneak Preview

Now that's kind of neat. I bet I could this pic on a recently seen website that gives a picture from maps.google and a couple of hints. Your job: find the same spot in the same magnification.

Weather Forecast Links

The DataStreme Project web site is from an online weather course provided by the AMS in cooperation with SUNY-Brockport. Explore the site for weather info, maps, satellite pictures, and links to NOAA info.

The 12-hour forecast map shows Lows, Highs, fronts, and predicted precipitation areas for the immediate future. You can find a link to this map, as well as one for 24, 36, and 48 hours.


The Pacific Ocean weather systems can be seen from this page that is updated hourly with images from the GEOS satellite. A pop-up link comes up which will allow you to see animations for the past 8 to 24 hours (or more). Click on the animation button on the bottom of the pop-up window, make your choice, and watch the pictures download, they will then show as an animation. Watching during the fall can show typhoons and hurricanes forming. Watching year round can show approaching fronts. You can tell the high and low pressure areas by watching the cloud rotation. When the rotation is clockwise, you have a high pressure area; counter-clockwise rotation shows a low.
